“Why do I need an espresso machine? Just thrown some grounds in a sock, boil it, and you got coffee.”

Flashlights have more maneuverability and they’re significantly brighter. Trying to use your phone’s flashlight outside is an exercise in futility. Plus I don’t need to worry about my phone’s screen breaking.

Something I’m not seeing here that is absolutely essential is a good flashlight.

Human beings can’t do shit in the dark. Useful for power outages, dark areas, and if gets late. I end up using it more than my knife tbh.

I got a touch-pump soap dispenser for my kitchen. Just put the the sponge on the device, push down, and now you got a soapy sponge. Saves time but I’m old so ymmv.

It makes more sense for the former unfortunately.

The original theory was that it could have been a pregnant women looking down and that’s what lead to the proportions. The idea was they wouldn’t have been able to see themselves in a river or something. But rivers and puddles, not to mention OTHER pregnant women, were extremely common so it’s less likely.

It’s just better to get used to a baseline level of misery than relying on happiness to get yourself out of a funk.

That said, turn the fucking devices off, get a big fucking cup of herbal tea, and look at the natures for 30 minutes. You are not allowed to press the buttons on the misery-skinner-box until tea is gone and timer is up.

I don’t think you understand that getting some hokey answers when you do an asklemmy thread about the supernatural is par for the course.

My point still stands even if its modified a bit.

It’s only your mind active in this scenario. You might as well just ask to know everything in existence.

Knowing everything in existence is just merging with the universe which isn’t what I want. I want my ego to still exist, even if only temporarily. I don’t want to go from human -> THE ALL, I want to follow the path with the extra time I was given.

I don’t see how you get to the ascension part anyway, you can only absorb the answers you look for, you don’t get time and space to do anything with it.

If I don’t get time and space then it doesn’t matter what I ask anyway as I’d be dead before I got to appreciate the answer. “Oh what’s the secret of the universe?” But then I’m dead before I even get to think about what it means. May as well just ask what’s on TV tomorrow because I wouldn’t get anything from it.

Tell me all the digits in Pi or some other irrational number so that I can get pseudo eternal life.

Since we have a wish-granting entity then that means the supernatural is somewhat real and I use my newfound time as well as the frozen world to learn everything I wanted and possible ascend beyond humanity.

Yeah…he literally put $1400 in your pocket, assuming you’re American, at the beginning of his administration in response to the covid-19 virus.

Trump did it twice, plus Biden promised $2000 and walked that back when he was in office.

Ignoring everything else, Trump pushed for the checks and called on congress to make increases to what was given out. Biden sent out a lower amount than what he promised and then presided over the clusterfuck that was the end of the pandemic.

I hate their unconscious brains but I think their consciousness is okay.

Humans are driven more by unconscious monkey brain then they care to admit. The people they like, hate, and pay attention to are largely unconscious behaviors. In this way, a human in a social setting is pure animal. The personality and ego are mere tools used by the human organism to navigate these social situations.

The human organism is a unconscious, cruel thing that should be abandoned as soon as possible. The egos created from it are okay. But asking them to separate themselves is hard for the trained let alone the layman.

I think of so many games where the whole point is just a 2-3 second bit at the end like this.

A single-player fantasy game with no skill points/upgrades beyond equipment. I want the entirety of the progression to be the skills of the player. You end up losing fights to more than one goblin at a time, but then you learn to start dealing with groups. A long enough time pasts and you’re slaughtering hordes of enemy like clockwork. But if someone took control of your character they’d still lose to a goblin or two.

I want something where split second reaction times and skill determine how a fight goes. Both me and the enemy should be able to kill each other in 2-3 seconds given the right circumstances. I want extremely punishing mechanics for both enemies and the player. Something like a first-person Hotline Miami but with really good swordplay.

They can be friendly if you treat them right and they’re mostly low commitment.

Dogs need cuddles and pets daily. Cats can take care of themselves on a day-to-day basis.

What a terrible mistake to make! Perhaps you should have assumed it was the correct orientation of the two words that are spelled exactly the same.

Your beef is with the English Language not me. How is it my fault that you misidentified yourself? Funnily enough, you still don’t identify your actual political position. It’s clear that the only political position you’d take is what gives you an advantage in the argument. Fucking debatebros lol.

I have, but thanks for the suggestion.

Reading so much theory that you confuse two different political ideologies. Sometimes I read so much theory that that I claim to be a monarchist when I really mean to say I’m an anti-monarchist. Obviously the other person should have understood what I meant. Your literally on a communication medium that allows you to plan and edit your comments. You have no excuse for making this grade school mistake.

You said you supported Social Democracy not Democratic Socialism. Dem Socs are well-meaning but idealistic, not optimistic but the political philosophy of idealism. Soc Dems are supporters of a kinder capitalism for the Imperial core but keeping the child slaves mining cobalt in the Congo.

The fact that you think these are the same proves the original posters point that you should read theory. They were harsh but you were implying that keeping exploitation of the third world is preferable to socialism.

Dude you still don’t stop worker exploitation, don’t solve the contradiction of working and capitalist classes, don’t end imperialism or colonialism (social democracy outsources exploitation to the third world)

Ok let me know how your method works out
